Smoke rolling back into the living room
We measure the flue against the appliance and install a correctly sized insulated liner. The smaller, warmer flue establishes a stronger pull. A smoke pen test confirms the fix before we leave.

About this service
What chimney relining Pleasant Grove UT actually involves
Chimney relining Pleasant Grove UT is the process of installing a new stainless steel or cast-in-place liner inside an existing flue so combustion gases travel safely from the firebox to the cap. We start with an inspection camera to map cracks, gaps in the clay tile joints, and any spalling brick around the flue. Then we size the liner to the appliance, insulate it, and pull it down the chimney. The top plate, chimney cap, and damper get checked before the first fire.
Most Pleasant Grove homes built before 1990 have original clay tile flues that were never meant for modern gas or wood inserts. Those tiles crack from freeze-thaw cycles, and gaps let carbon monoxide slip into living space. If you have noticed a smoky smell upstairs or a weak fire that will not draw, a chimney liner replacement Pleasant Grove job usually solves it. We also see liner deterioration after chimney leak repair work where water sat in the flue for a season.
- ✓ Draft you can feel
- ✓ Code-correct protection
- ✓ Lower heating bills
- ✓ Fewer emergency calls
What's included
What is included in a chimney reline
Every reline we quote covers the liner, insulation, top plate, and appliance connector. Crown, cap, flashing, and masonry work are priced separately so you can see exactly what each piece costs. Here is what shows up on a standard Pleasant Grove reline.
✓
Camera inspection and report
Full flue scan with photos of every joint and crack. You get a copy of the images and a written summary of what we found. This is what drives the sizing decision on the liner.
✓
Insulated stainless liner
A stainless steel liner wrapped in insulation, sized to your appliance and flue height. Insulation keeps flue gases hot for better draft and protects the surrounding masonry from heat stress.
✓
Top plate and cap
A stainless top plate seals the chimney top around the liner, and a new cap keeps rain and animals out. Both are sized to the liner termination so the fit is tight and weatherproof.
✓
Appliance connector
The connection between your fireplace, insert, or furnace and the new liner. We seal it properly so no combustion gases escape into the chimney chase or the room.
✓
Draft verification
A smoke pen test after install confirms the flue pulls correctly. If draft is weak, we diagnose why before we leave. No guessing, no callbacks for the same problem.
How it works
How our relining process runs, step by step
01
Camera inspection
We run an inspection camera down the flue and photograph every joint, crack, and offset. You see the same images we do. This is where we confirm whether you need a full reline, a chimney liner repair, or just a cleaning. Takes 30 to 45 minutes on a typical Pleasant Grove masonry chimney.
02
Sizing and quote
We match liner diameter to your appliance and flue height, then quote the job before we start. Insulation, top plate, cap, and any crown work get priced separately so you know what each piece costs. No surprise line items after the liner is already down the chimney.
03
Flue preparation
We brush the flue with a rotary chimney sweep and flue brush to strip creosote and loose tile fragments. Any protruding mortar gets ground back with a masonry trowel so the liner slides without tearing. On offset flues we set a transition and pull from the top.
04
Liner installation
The stainless steel liner goes down with insulation wrapped around it, then we set the top plate, chimney cap, and appliance connector. We seal the crown with crown sealant and check the damper for full travel. Most installs take three to five hours once preparation is done.
05
Draft test and walkthrough
We light a test fire and use a smoke pen to confirm the flue pulls correctly. A moisture meter checks for any damp masonry near the flashing. Then we walk you through what we installed, what to watch for, and when to schedule your next chimney cleaning service.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use on every reline
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Inspection camera
Scans the full length of the flue and photographs every joint, crack, and offset. You see the same images we do before any work is quoted.
Rotary chimney sweep and flue brush
Strips creosote and loose tile fragments from the flue walls so the new liner slides cleanly and does not tear on the way down.
Masonry trowel and jointing tool
Grinds back protruding mortar and repoints problem areas with refractory cement before the liner is installed. Prevents callbacks from liner damage.
Smoke pen
Confirms draft after install. If the smoke does not pull cleanly up the flue, we diagnose the cause before we leave the property.
Moisture meter
Checks masonry near the flashing and crown for hidden water. Catches leaks that would otherwise rust a new liner from the outside.
ChimneySaver and HomeSaver sealants
Seal crowns, top plates, and flashing against water intrusion. Breathable formulas let masonry dry without trapping moisture inside.
Olympia Chimney, Selkirk, and DuraVent liner systems
Stainless liner components we stock and install. Sizing options cover most residential flues without a special order delay.
Real results
Before and after.
1970s brick flue, cracked tile relined
Before
A Downtown Pleasant Grove home had original clay tile with open joints and visible cracks running two-thirds of the flue. Smoke rolled into the living room on cold starts, and the fireplace had not been used in two seasons. Inspection camera showed tile fragments sitting loose at the base.
After
We swept the flue, ground back protruding mortar, and installed an insulated 8-inch stainless liner sized to the fireplace. Smoke pen test showed a clean pull on the first fire. The homeowner used the fireplace through the following winter with no smoke smell.
Rusted metal liner replaced after leak
Before
A Mount Mahogany home had a chimney leak dripping for two winters. The existing metal liner had rusted through in two sections, and the flashing was loose. Moisture meter readings showed damp masonry around the chimney chase.
After
We repaired the flashing and crown, then replaced the rusted liner with a new stainless system. Moisture readings returned to normal over the following month. The ceiling stains stopped spreading and the fireplace was usable again.
Insert install with correctly sized liner
Before
A Battle Creek homeowner had a wood insert installed into an oversized masonry flue. Draft was weak, smoke backed up on cold mornings, and creosote built up within one season of burning. The original installer had not relined the flue.
After
We sized a 6-inch insulated liner to the insert, installed it with a proper appliance connector, and trimmed the damper to clear. Draft improved immediately. The homeowner reported using roughly 20 percent less wood the following season.
Problems we solve
Problems a new liner solves for Pleasant Grove homes
Most reline calls start with one of these four symptoms. Each one points to a flue that is no longer doing its job. Here is what we see and how we fix it.
Ask a pro →↗
Creosote buildup that will not stop
A smooth stainless liner slows creosote accumulation and makes sweeping easier. We clean the flue first, install the liner, and set you up on an annual chimney cleaning service schedule.
Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney
We trace the leak, repair the flashing or crown, and check the liner for rust damage. If the liner is compromised, we reline it in the same project so the leak does not come back through a new problem.
Failed inspection at resale
We inspect, document the flue condition, and reline to NFPA 211 and IRC chimney code. You get paperwork showing the liner spec and install date, which satisfies most inspectors and lenders.

Most residential relines in Pleasant Grove run $1,800 to $4,500 in 2026, depending on flue height, liner diameter, and whether insulation and a new cap are included. A straight 20-foot masonry flue with a standard 6-inch stainless liner sits near the low end. Tall chimneys, offset flues, and cast-in-place systems push toward the top. We quote the full job before we start.
It is the installation of a new stainless steel or cast-in-place liner inside your existing flue. The liner carries smoke and combustion gases from the firebox to the top of the chimney, replacing a cracked or unlined clay tile flue. We size it to your appliance, insulate it, and seal it at the top plate and appliance connector so nothing leaks into the house.
Yes, in most cases. Weak draft usually comes from an oversized flue, a cracked liner letting air in, or a flue that is too cold to establish a pull. A correctly sized, insulated liner fixes all three. We confirm the result with a smoke pen test after install. If the appliance itself is undersized for the flue, we will tell you that too.
A standard residential reline takes one day, usually three to five hours of on-site work after the inspection. Offset flues, tall chimneys, and cast-in-place liners can stretch to a second day. We schedule a morning start so you have heat by evening, and we clean up the work area before we leave.
